Default flash MP3 players

What's out there?

My buddy has this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16855102035 and highly recommends it. I figured I'd ask here and maybe some of you cacs have some input.

Looking for 16gig or more (^that one has a slot for an SD card too). Other than that, cost is the main factor.

I tend to break stuff, which is why I'm interested in a flash-based one.

Shit, then buy a durable case.

If you're worried about dropping it and breaking the hard drive, you'd actually crack the screen before that. You can crack the screen on any player you buy.


16GB for $160, expand it with the SD slot (no mentions of an SDHC cabability) up to another 2GB. I can't really see the difference of $60 being worth it.

Which puts you at $190, $30 and 88GB short of a better product.
